16:34 He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

16:35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."

16:36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."

16:37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most assuredly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!"

16:38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

16:39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

16:40 They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia`s house. When they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.
